Answer 2

Given that:

• Ms. Green gave her class 20 minutes to read.
• Carrie read 8.5 pages in that time.

To Find:

• At what rate, in pages per minute, did Carrie read?

• She read x pages in a minute.

According to the question.

↣ x : 1 = 8.5 : 20

↣ x/1 = 8.5/20

↣ x = 0.425

Hence,

• Carrie read at the rate of 0.425 pages per minute.
